Obviously the answer is to launch the waterfall, propelling yourself to the bottom of the pool at record speed. Retrieve gopro, watch awesome footage of underwater creatures getting it on.-syrup.

I used the 4FRNT Clicks 177 and I'm 5"7. I think they skied pretty tall.
Season is too short to be waiting in lift lines in wisconsin.

Things I've learned in 15 yrs. Honesty is bad, because your name has lame writtten under it your automatically a loser, your not good now you'll never be good at skiing, say anything bad about anything and you're a hater, common sense isn't as commom as you think, idiots were put on Earth to entertain the people that are less of an idiot.

i don't wanna create a thread to ask this so i'll just ask here:
I'm riding 139cm Salomons, and I'm about 5'2" (they're roughly at my chin when i stand next to them. The sizing charts say i should be riding closer to 150 but this seems like a pretty big jump in terms of size?

If you're a good skier, 155-160cm would probably be ideal for you (as long as you arent like 70lbs).

Line Skis Launches Newer Looking Shopatron Cart

Line Skis Launches Newer Looking Shopatron Cart

Oct 1st 2009

I have nothing against Line Skis. They make an awesome product and keep driving the way the industry looks at ski design. I do have issues with their short term sales strategy. From the information available online it looks like they give sales to smaller dealers that do not take the same financial risks as their established online retailers such as Backcountry.com. There is a reason shops like EVO Gear and Backcountry do so well. They have teams in place to make sure your online shopping experience is the best it could possibly be. Once a customer can buy a pair of skis on the manufacturers website and the shipping is free how can other online dealers compete? They can't compete on price since Line is selling at MAP instead of retail. Why do they even have a retail price if they don't believe in the perceived value of it? Line's new skis are awesome and should do well for the 2010 season. Give them a gander at Backcountry.com. READ MORE
